- Storm confirms that the entire set of vehicle models in the game will be reworked to HD (there won’t be a special non-HD client)
- the HD tanks are not textured as dirty from mud, because it would look weird on winter maps
- no plans for changes of the gold ammo for credits mechanism
- camo looking weird on HD models? “Everything is the way it was before”
- IS-7 will not be reworked to HD in 9.3

  2. Reality is, when tracks crush the snow covered ground, they are likely to meet dirt. I’ve been on plenty of excercises during the winter and our tanks were always dirty afterwards.

    • Indeed.

      But hey. It is WG. We had Wintercamo etc in the desert and it was OK for them. But brown dirt is a problem. :P

    • Facinating! great comment.

      However, could it not also be true that it would look weird? Given that the average player doesn’t know that, they might be confused.

    • I took driving games as example: you start with a totally clean car – and then during the race, it gets muddy, dirty, snowy, etc… depending on the environment. (Or in GTA even bloody, if you hit a pedestrian. :D )

      Would it be that difficult to program that graphical effect in 2014??

    This means when all tanks will be reworked to HD, WoT file size will be so big, we need a separate HDD

    But i am sure there will be mods that changes HD model to smaller one

    Prepare your hard-drives for fucking 80GB of tanks i didnt unlock and never plan to unlock and dont even see their full quality in battle.

    WG= Genius.
    my HDD= poor guy…

      • Well Woras, are you going to pay for a fiber connection to my home? Untill then, I am stuck on 20/2 ADSL. :/

        • 6/0.8 ADSL here, would be quite happy to be able to do 80GB overnight with 20Mb/s down

          I’m sure there’s more than a few people on here far worse off for bandwidth than we are…

          • Yeah and that is why those ‘just upgrade your internet plan’ pisses me off so much (while normally I don’t let anything on the internet get me :P). My parents home had 300/300 fiber, but here in the middle of town I am stuck with ADSL. And a few streets away they have 500/500 fiber. Ugh.

        • At least you have 20/2… My only option is 3/3.

          Don’t make me download GBs of useless crap. I’ll simply stop my cash flow, WG.

      • I have a 512kbp/s plan with a download speed of 60kB/s. Am I a cheap ass? Nope. Was I(unfortunately) born in a cheap ass country? Yes. Even if I want to I can’t upgrade crap because no decent ISP is willing to expand into my area and what options I do have are either high speed but limited usage or low speed with unlimited usage. I might not have issues with huge client size but I do take issue with forcing me to download HD models that I will probably will never unlock/see and will also take me forever to download. It’s more counter productive given the fact, that Storm made so very clear, that we will never see anyone’s vehicle in HD during battle except ours. So really I ask, why?

  6. 80 GB of data isn’t really a size problem, but knowing how fucked up WoT is working where it doesn’t use the available RAM, but actually loads stuff from HDD all the time it means lots of problems with optimization in the future, where shitload of crap is gonna load all the time.
